| Friendship Breakups, Pivoting + What's Behind the Glow-Up with Krista Williams | 13 oct. 2026 | 01:00:58 | |
If you've been around for a while, you've heard Krista Williams on the podcast before. But with the rebrand, I had to bring her back to talk about something she's been speaking about all around the world: pivoting and finding your voice. Krista is the co-host of the Almost 30 podcast, a bestselling author, a speaker, a retreat host, and a really great human. I could literally talk to her for hours. In this episode, we talk about Krista's glow-up and what she had to let go of to fully make the change she wanted to make. How toxic relationships and friendships can hold us back. Her divorce, shedding a past layer of herself, and what it means to live consciously and invite the universe into your life as a co-creator. We get into what it really means to live in alignment, how you don't need to blow up your life to change it, and what happened to me when I went to Krista's retreat in Chicago this year.

| Are Your Boundaries Too Much? | 22 sept. 2025 | 00:25:12 | |
Boundaries are extremely important to implement and hold in your relationships, but in my years as a stepmom coaching I've come to find that many people misunderstand what boundaries are. Boundaries are not about controlling another person - they are about communicating your needs and preferences in regards to how people treat you. Good boundaries should get you closer to the dynamic you need in your relationship, not further away from it. Today, Darren and I are diving into boundaries that stepmoms have submitted. You'll hear boundary talk about: Kids in the bedroom Sending memes to the ex Constant communication with the ex Kids dropping by unannounced outside of the custody agreement Driving the step kids to bio mom's house to pick up things they forgot Sitting with the ex at events Work with Jamie: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/coaching Join Elevate: www.jamiescrimgeour.com/elevate Thanks to our sponsors: LMNT | My Go To Electrolyte Drink.
